How to be Bohemian with Victoria Coren Mitchell

In this original, entertaining and provocative series Victoria embarks on an often surprising exploration of the history of bohemians – those weird and wonderful artists, writers and free thinkers who have chosen to defy convention, from radical romantics to sandal-wearing vegetarians and sexual-experimenters.

With her quick wit to the fore, Victoria makes a sprightly guide as she applies her unique blend of enthusiasm and scepticism to uncovering the life stories of bohemians past and present. Despite nights spent playing professional poker, Victoria would not claim to be a bohemian herself. She is however still intrigued by those with the will, the commitment and the plain chutzpah to cock a snook at the mainstream and plough their own furrow.

It has lain in the gutter and looked at the stars of the boho firmament, but with this wonderfully snarky and intelligent series that VCM has cemented her reputation as the thinking woman’s woman that other women would like to go drinking with - The Sunday Times
